Avery's First Playdate

What began as a random encounter in our apartment elevator, turned into "tea and legos" this afternoon. The glitcher--they only speak Russian. We had a blast smiling and saying "uh-huh" and using our alternative language skills to communicate over tea and chocolates. The kids 7 and 10 had fun chasing Avery around their "flat," putting together a lego dump truck set, and showing off a gold medal the youngest won in a downhill ski race. He is referred to as a "Russian Bear" and has a beautiful golden mullet. Avery was so happy to find a friend two doors down. You'd never know that they couldn't speak a word to each other. Avery wants to go back tomorrow. Afterall, we left with an open invitation..."In the morning, you'll return yah. Why not? Come."
